It’s been a busy couple of days. Working out has had to resort to a walk here and swim there because a good solid hour and half for running just hasn’t been available since Sunday. I got in a great 4 mile run on Sunday though. Really looking forward to getting another one in tomorrow.
I’ve realized the key to running well is beating yourself mentally. On Sunday, I just kept remembering Crissy telling me, “Always keep moving, even if your jogging at a walking pace, move.” It’s similar to what my aunt told me last summer, “Don’t ever stop, just slow down.” I think I will take that approach to heart more, especially running in the summer heat.
I’m in search of new running shoes. I’ve got a good 500 miles on the ones I’m wearing now (yes, yes I know. I’m over by 200 miles.) So if you have any suggestions let me know!
As for just me I’ve worked a lot in the past 6 days. I have my last marathon shift tomorrow then get a week off for going to a sisters wedding. Yesterday though Taylor and I did get to visit the Sea Life Aquarium in Kansas City. It was so much fun! I love marine life, especially sharks. Let me tell you, Shark Week is one of my favorite things all summer.
The aquarium has a shark that only 22 other aquariums in the world have. I believe he called it a gator shark. Other than that they only had bull sharks. Many of the animals there were pretty standard, but I still love it none the less! Plus the validate parking for 6 hours and give you cheap tickets online. Seriously, it’s worth a visit!
The infamous gator shark.
But now its time to go watch The Voice finale. I’m hooked. Not sure if I have a favorite contestant, just a favorite coach. So let’s go Team Blake!
Run Hard. Live Life. Be Happy.
